The Palm Beach Post is so out of touch with HS football.  The just stay hating Oxbridge Academy, pick up old news articles and make picks, and stay in bed with AHD !

 

 

Look at how the writers (Courtesy of Adam Lichtenstein and Jodie Wagner of the PB Post)  broke down PB County teams in their polls:

Football: Breaking down the Post’s votes in the Associated Press preseason poll

The Associated Press’ preseason high school football poll is out. Four Palm Beach County teams made the cut and several more received votes.

Palm Beach Post writers Adam Lichtenstein and Jodie Wagner both have votes in the AP poll, so this week we will break down where we put Palm Beach County teams in our polls.

Here is what we decided:

Class 8A
Atlantic
Adam: I ranked the Eagles fifth in the class. Atlantic is almost certainly the top 8A team in the county, but there are talented teams several top teams south of them — namely, Pembroke Pines-Flanagan and Miami-Columbus.
Jodie: I ranked the Eagles seventh, which is where they ended up in this week’s poll. Atlantic went 12-1 last season and returns a handful of key players from that team, but there is plenty of talent ahead of them. 8A, as usual, is going to be tough this season.
Palm Beach Gardens
Adam: I ranked the Gators 10th to start the season. Gardens struggled at times while putting together a 6-4 record last season, but the Gators have some of the most talented players in the county. If the offense is improved, they will do much better this year.
Jodie: I also ranked the Gators 10th to start the season. Palm Beach Gardens has plenty of talent on both sides of the ball, and will throw more this season than they have in the past. An improved Gators’ offense, as Adam said, could be the key.

Class 7A
Dwyer
Adam: I put the Panthers third in the class. There is no one topping Fort Lauderdale-St. Thomas Aquinas in the class, and maybe in the country. I also put Bradenton-Braden River ahead of Dwyer, as that team expects to match its dominating defense from last season.
Jodie: I also put the Panthers in the third slot, behind national No. 1 St. Thomas Aquinas and 2015 state semifinalist Braden River. Dwyer is eager for a playoff rematch with the Raiders, and could get it. The Panthers have talent and depth, and look to go deep into the postseason.

Class 3A
American Heritage
Adam: I ranked the Stallions second in this class. Jacksonville-Trinity Christian is the undisputed No. 1 team in the class, so while Heritage is loaded this season, it needs to get over that hump.
Jodie: I put American Heritage at No. 3 in this class, behind nationally ranked Trinity Christian and deep Clearwater Central Catholic. The Stallions are loaded again this year, but so are the Conquerors and Marauders. American Heritage has beaten CCC two years in a row in the state semifinals, and are aiming for a three-peat.

Class 1A
Pahokee
Adam: I ranked Pahokee fourth in 1A. The Blue Devils could have made a deeper run in the playoffs last season had head coach Alphonso Smith not been suspended days before their first playoff game. Pahokee is possibly even more talented this year, so the team could have a shot at a state playoffs appearance.
Jodie: I did not rank Pahokee in Class 1A, but only because the Blue Devils were not included among the list of teams at the time I voted (yep, early). Pahokee would have gotten my vote, probably at No. 4.

 

 

 

8A - Did not even reference Boca Raton in PB county.  So out of tune they reference Flanagan and Columbus (no clue of the talent on Deerfield Beach and Southridge though...)

7A - Only Dwyer made their cut.  Maybe not a top 10 7A team, but they could have at least referenced PB Lakes somewhere in 7A.

3A.  AHP.  - Of course  :)    No Oxbridge Academy in the AP Votes for 3A top 10 ... Can you say "Grudge" PB Post?

2A - How about the possibility of a pretty good Village Academy in the top 10 in 2A?  They are in that area in many polls and they are in PB County (Delray Beach to be exact. Perhaps they have never heard of them.

1A - Well they at least got that right.

 

These are writers that represent and have votes in the AP poll.  Here you have clear cut bias specifically with Oxbridge Academy not in their top 10, yet probably 99% of the rest of the writers in the state have Oxbridge in their top 10.  Oddly enough Oxbridge is the PB Post own/home county?   

Everyone has opinions I guess....

    • Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.  
    • Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.     
    • First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh
